Yeah boy!

Sick of seeing all these rubbish clubs getting thrashed away from home, what's the point?

Shambolic from United

Could tell within about ten minutes of the game we were going to have a mare.

Mata. Why is he still on the pitch?

Get him out.

Playing my brother in fantasy league this week - Duffy scoring caps off his week with three of his four defenders scoring(Tarkowski and Trippier), and his captain getting a hat trick. How I hate him. :dread:

Flat, boring and uninspiring.

Needed that goal and we need to wake the strawberry float up.

Oh strawberry float off! :evil:

Corazon de Leon

United, strawberry floating hell :lol:

#JoseOut

Can't see them getting a thing out of this, as if they would deserve it... Night and day difference to City earlier...

I wonder if they're not playing to get Jose out you know.

Could be the start of Jose's typical third season and bust.

The players are ultimately to blame here but it's all about approach. Jose just does not seem to trust his players and you can see it.

Whatever happens in this game that’s some shocking defending from Manu.

Load of gooseberry fool, bunch of strawberry floating wasters.

Certainly was. Poor from us. To concede again after we’d got back into it is abysmal.

Is Ed Woodward to blame as he refused to invest a lot of money on central defenders?

Look at us, we are shocking and looking woeful.

Mata - you need to go now please.

It's one game and it could just be that too many of our lads are rusty having had little to no pre-season or a long World Cup.

Think there's something more to it though if I'm honest. You can't be a Martial, Pogba, Lukaku, Sanchez and enjoy playing in this Jose side. We're not playing to our own strengths we're always playing to our opponents strengths and with that it's almost like you're saying to your own group of players 'I don't trust you to get the job done so just sit in tight and play for one or two moments'

United have been so so bad. All three goals have been poor from them but the defending for the third goal was beyond awful.

Well lets not forget Woodward has brought in two new centre backs for Jose in two years. Maybe they just clamped down and said 'you can't keep signing players and deciding they're not up to scratch after one season'

On the Mata situation he's clearly not meant to play in that position it's plain for all to see. He hasn't got the engine to track back and prefers to be central.

I don't know I'm just looking at things coming out of our camp and the performance today and clearly the players aren't enjoying it.

So, Man United and Arsenal confirmed relegated by Christmas?
